They say timing is everything and a truer word could not be said as Gaeil Colmcille were delighted to accept the kind donation of three defibrillator’s from Paul Delaney of Delani Street and Traffic Ltd.
After the events at Euro 2020 last Saturday with Christian Eriksen needing to be resuscitated on the pitch its now more than ever to have these life savers available for our teams.
Three important people have been entrusted with the safeguarding of these valuable defibrillator’s, for the men’s section Gerry Smith (087 066 0141) will hold one, for the ladies section Roy Mitchell (086 048 4199) will hold one and Club Chairperson Olivia Ferguson (087 782 9310) will hold the third one.
The three fully operational defibrillator’s were handed over to Olivia on Friday evening in Grangegodden with Paul’s son and Gaeil Colmcille Children’s Liaison Officer Andy Delaney representing Delani Street and Traffic. Olivia thanked Paul Delaney for such a generous and important donation to the club and the town of Kells.
